  1. IRL, would Joe have been tangled in  additional red tape in getting his burial rites just for serving under false pretense?  Joe did assume a false identity in order to penetrate a militant organization.

    It's a sign that Kacie's character is underdeveloped, that they can't yet refer to her by last name and be confident that we in the home audience  will recognize it. Abbey used a first name too, maybe meaning that the scientists and Jimmy are actually civilians.

    By now, seasoned Ncis agents should be able to empathize with these veterans, McGee's misunderstandings could be a spokesperson's role  for the audience at home. If so, the writers underestimate us at home.

    It drives me nuts when Gibbs asks the team members what they have, and they mumble and make up excuses and when he presses them further, they whine, "What are we supposed to DOOOO?"

    He used to get mad at the previous team(s) and they would jump to and start thinking harder on how to solve the case. These three just pout. I miss the good old days.

    I didn't feel like McGee's situation resolved itself very well. He didn't want to go, decided to go, mixed up the dates (which seems implausible), and is glad he didn't go because he would have been going for the wrong reason, which was what, exactly? To show people he wasn't ashamed of himself and his accomplishments? Because that's a bad thing?

    I know that reunions can bring out the insecurity in people, I get that, but sometimes you find that everyone has grown up and it's just interesting to compare notes with people. I thought McGee was secure enough for that, but he's become a big wuss.

    McGee's refrain is that every task of the job that he has always had is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And then he feels insecure about his accomplishments at   the  reunion. He is the one under performing. How did Gibbs know his way around the vic's iPhone at the crime scene?

    He didn't want to go because Delilah couldn't handle the potty training routine before she put the kids to bed without him. He wouldn't have needed to miss any more than that because Baltimore is 38 freaking miles from DC. I've had daily commutes to work that were longer than that. What does she do when he is out late on a case? 

    Don't they have a sitter 

  3. When they cast Bishop to be training to be the top covert agent, Torres needs to be the greek chorus asking the obvious questions on behalf of us at home 

    Bishop's role needs to be perceptive,subtle and cunning. she is playing naive, which hopefully Is just her act

    at the crime scene, Gibbs was providing technical support to McGee about how to unlock the victim's iPhone. what gibbs.what gives

  4. Wasn't Nelson set up in the book depository overlooking the Christian Pride parade?

    Then Jesus' impersonator was on an I-tablet, which defeats the point of a book depository.

    Passion of Springfield episode, 03-15-2020.

    The parade of Christian pride averaging into St Pat's procession 

  5. Some subscribe to the notion that doing Elder Care is divine work. Apps and bots won't be rewarded in the next incarnation. Thus Elder Care indeed should be reserved for young humans. The Simpsons might have a prequel or sequel episode about compulsory domestic service during a gap year after high school.

  6. spoilers: Was any one else cringing a bit while  two of the petty officers were  having  petty conversation on the welcome mat of the musician's flat. The delay, on tv, of critical moments could have meant the difference between an apprehension and an escape, a rescue and a bleed out. The gossip also apparently 

    distracted the agents from realizing that the musician inside said apartment was the intended victim.The agents have worked as many cases as episodes that I have seen; they have the same evidence and retrospective that led me to deduce this logic .

    So slight season's spoilers

    or speculations:

    in a closed adoption, how are developments in the biological family history communicated to the adult child? Jack gave a medical history 28 years ago but what about conditions that are onset suddenly later. Maybe the adoption agency is out of business and can't transmit the updated history.

    I assumed Faith wants to start a family and that Jack is too close to the situation to think of this. We fans are often a step ahead of NCIS.

    Have Faith,

    Again, I missed the last part, but my assumption is that Jack's bio daughter needs the full medical history because she's pregnant, and Jack's gonna be a grandma, which is going to lead to more Jack angst.  I like Maria Bello, and I want to like Jack, but she's getting on my nerves with her dithering and tentativeness.  This is not the strong army officer we first saw.

  8. Special agent Gibbs Gibbs Gibbs is a slight ludite with a perchance to pamper the scientists in the high tech laboratory..for balance..

    But The rule #1 of the Bullpen should be: Respect for basic protocol.

    Kace hands down was too hands on with the case, in this case. a month they let the uncleared Ziva in, and the behavioral analysis missed Gibbs' motives for letting Kace interview the suspect. The behavioral analyst has been gossiping about the other agents' privileged  personal affairs

    o do the writers just think that all religious people that arent main characters only talk in terms of religion? Because I grew up in rural Indiana, I know tons of super religious people, and most of them can go a few sentences without references to God or praying or Satan or miracles or whatever. Like, we get it show, they're super religious, can they have something more interesting to say now? Did the evil Ohio DA really call himself a "Simple Country Lawyer?!" Holy crap, what is this guy!? I was waiting fo

    tThe dialogue captured speech patterns among the devoutly faithful people in the interior of the USA; rural to urban,, coastal too. They invoke the lord's name every other sentence, and if secular people do it, it's taking his name in vain. hegemony

    I didn't notice them.

    The sign in Olivia's office had the gist of -women are decision makers 

    In the final scene The clinic had a poster along the lines of -not his choice, in the context of the episode I stretched the copy to mean "his " with a lower and upper case H

  11. Team Gibbs Must have /should have /neglected to update Zzziva's clearances and her background check to reflect most of the past decade before they let her back into the bullpen.

    She is declared dead and in the secure Naval building off record? Other "family "members are able to come inside the office to consult on cases but people they're able to provide a current background check 

    Some jobs require employees to be re-trained and debriefed after a two week absence from work 

    The show has ambiguities around the status of alive or dead, as the boundaries thin between the living and the dead, this October moon. The ambiguities caused confusion over when to rescue each other or just let supposedly  deceased teammates rest in peace

  12. Agent Gibbs' rule 41:

    Be inconspicuous and you can hide, and, escape, in plain sight. 

    Run through the sprinkler to reduce the sight of your wounds before boarding Capitol Metro Transit. Once you're riding public transit, address your partner using her alias, Zoe Davis.

    The set design is improving in authenticity ,

  13. The dialogue was inaudible and unintelligible. I thought they were going for a connection between the victim from the marathon that worked in admissions at the prep school and the alleged threat against the teenage niece of the Mark Zuckerberg figure.  I thought that the niece attended the same prep school where the runner was working, being in the one percent and all. But I guess the show is introducing a new arc.

    Yep, I'm going to reiterate paigow's checklist. Smarmy, arrogant, greedy.

    Now they have the interim captain reciting the details for us. He doesn't deliver the lines as well as the others. Especially the requisite epilogue where they all gather around and recap everything that just happened to make sure we daft viewers aren't left scratching our heads. He rattled it off so quickly as if he was afraid he'd forget the lines before he was done. 😄 I like the character, but the actor isn't the greatest. James Frain made up for him though. He's always good in any part he plays. Always the bad guy, of course.

    It sounded to me like the actors' microphones were all broken the whole episode. my volume was up all the way

  15. Is this episode an interpretation of the possible cover up of the negligence towards those inmates  in South  Carolina who might've been abandoned and stranded in their prison during a hurricane last Fall? Media coverage favored Kavanaugh's hearing and dropped the inmates' stories as well 

  16. in choke point , the Seal's nurse in the ICU yelled for "2 lorazepams for the seizure " , but he didn't specify the dose. IRL, this could represent HIPPAA's limitations on health care.

    Later, the director of the weed dispensary said her stomach churned over the crime.  Marijuana can cause nausea as a side effect.  

  17. During voir dere, would a prospective juror confess in court that she might not pay the resturaunt bill, regardless of oath? 

  18. They scripted McGee to answer Kasie's call to the lab;he understood her technical findings in the computer transmissions when time was of the essence.

    Did the copy of "Moby Dick", quote unquote, look new or worn to you?
